[linux-lvm] Problem resizing partition

[Guillermo Marraco]

Thanks for your answer!.

I was unaware that That partition was needed unmounted.

¿I can unmount the main Linux Partition, start gparted, and then remount
it?, or I need a Live CD?

I have the Puppy Linux Live CD, and I have burn the Gparted Live CD. I gonna
try to use them.
